  • Art in Architecture Acknowledgments
    art in architecture Acknowledgments It is a pleasure to thank those who helped to make this exhibition a success. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, whose generous support made this exhibition possible. I owe my deepest gratitude to the institutions from whose collections we borrowed objects for inclusion in this exhibition. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Leslie Edwards, Robbie Terman, and Laurie Kay at the Cranbrook Archives; Roberta Frey Gilboe at the Cranbrook Art Museum; David Schneider and Tracy Irwin at the Detroit Historical Museum; Jim Joyce at the Friedman Real Estate Group; Meredith Long at Meadow Brook Hall; and Jan Durecki at the Rabbi Leo M. Franklin Archives. Working with these individuals has been a joy and I truly appreciate all of the time and energy they spent preparing for the loan of these objects. Thank you also to the numerous archives, museums, historical societies and libraries throughout the state and the country who granted permission for the museum to use their photographs in the exhibition. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Flickr photographers who generously allowed the museum to include their photographs in the exhibition. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you. I wish to thank Tawny Ryan Nelb for her insightful essay that appears in this catalog. John Gallagher, Architecture Critic and Urban Development Writer at the Detroit Free Press, and Jennifer Baross, Partner, Destination Detroit Media, were gracious in accepting the museum’s invitation to give lectures during the course of the exhibition.

  • In Duchamp's Shadow : Dadaist in the City of Machines
    d IN DUCHAMP’S SHADOW: Dadaist in the City of Machines John Cohassey In Detroit’s Scarab Club, a charming brick 1920s arts and crafts structure is Marcel Duchamp’s signature—thirteen small cryptic letters on a wooden ceiling beam. This talismanic auto­ graph stirred my interest in finding out why and when Duchamp added his name to the collection of signatures in the club’s lounge. I was aware that Duchamp came to Detroit in November 1961 to speak at the Detroit Institute of Arts and re­ ceive an honorary degree from Wayne State University. This being the only information about Duchamp having visited De­ troit of which I knew, I set out to find a link between the Scarab Club signature and his coming to Detroit in 1961. We may never know why Duchamp—who never spoke fondly of history, especially its art movements and “isms” and rejected all facets of aesthetic commercialism—accepted an honorary degree from an urban university so far from the powerful centers of the art world. But for an artist fascinated by the machine and mechanical drawings, Detroit may have been a fitting place for such an honor. At the time of Duchamp’s visit, the seventy­four­year­old artist had emerged from a relatively isolated life in New York City to appear on television and at museum and gallery events. After nearly a half century of bachelorhood (he was married briefly in 1927), Duchamp married again in 1955 and became an American citizen. Unlike many other influential artists, he 11 avoided a self­destructive path.

The Detroit Renaissance, a non-profit organization of business and community leaders, was formed in 1970 by the chief executives of the region's most influential employers to focus on the re-development of Detroit.

  • MDOT-Woodward Avenue Light Rail Transit Project FEIS Section 106
    Guardian Building National Historic Landmark (See Map Attachment D; see Figures 48-49) The Guardian Building National Historic Landmark is a monolithic forty-story, ceramic tile and brick-clad, steel-frame, skyscraper; it is an excellent example of the Art Deco style and is richly embellished with ornament indicative of that style. The property was listed in the NRHP under Criterion C as a significant example of Art Deco and skyscraper architecture designed by architect Wirt C. Rowland of the architectural firm Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Near the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, project implementation under Design Option 2 would include installation of guideway alignments in Congress Street’s southernmost lane 15 feet north of the property and in Larned Street’s southernmost lane approximately 40 feet south of the property. The OCS, consisting of support poles and wires, would be installed in roadway rights-of-way along the alignments. No physical impacts to the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark would occur; no project activity is proposed within the property’s NRHP boundary. Therefore, no effects to the property’s integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship would occur. Although the proposed guideway alignment and OCS would be visible from some portions of the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, these facilities represent a minor alteration to the property’s visual urban setting. No historic views to or from the building would be obscured. Because no views would be obscured, no visual effects to the property were identified. Furthermore, based on current information, no auditory, vibratory, or atmospheric impacts were identified for these properties.
